Maxima Randomly Cuts out the cranks back up . No check engine light ?

My car randomly cuts out while driving without any sign of it falling dead but it cranks right back. No one can seem to figure out what it is. There is no check engine light, alternator, fuel pump, starter, crankshaft,Battery are all new . Idk what problem is could it be a clogged fuel filter? Car hesitate upon acceleration and when I’m idling and rev above 2000 rpm the engine cuts out but cranks right back up. Any idea of what that could be?

Not really sure what youre trying to say. What do you mean by "cuts out"? Like the engine dies and you have to start the car again? Or it just stumbles and loses power? Is it not making power past 2krpm or is it dying there? Youre gonna need to clarify exactly whats going on because youre saying stuff that kinda contradicts itself lol.

Just spitballing but based on what i think youre tryna say it sounds like it could be a bad MAF. Could also be a bad fuel filter. Could be a vacuum leak. Could be several other things. Did you check your coolant + oil and make sure nothing funky is going on in there?

Bingo. Looks like quite a few original CPS have made it a long time.

Mine were changed as a part of that recall in 02-03 but failed again late last year. Nissans have issues with their Hall Effect sensors but 15 yrs is still not a bad run.
